I haven't flown the flysurfers, but i have found for gusty conditions, the foils definitely outfly the LEI's. Although I enjoy the LEI's, I still have my foil.

I also like the idea of some of the new big flysurfers which allow you to drop your range down to 4knots as a starting point. Haven't seen a kite yet that can do that. Inland, the winds tend to be lightish or heavy gusts, the lightish option may extend your water time

I agree, 6 knots is the lower limit for any kite, even the warrior 16.5

I need 8-9 knots on a pitbull and I weigh 85kgs

with a bigger board I would probably be ok at 7 knots

The kite are very stable and will not overfly, but with the big 16.5 it can be a problem if the kite is at the side of the window and the wind drops below 6 knots, in such cases the kite may drop but will usually relaunch once the lull has passed.

If the wind is not a consistent 7 knots it's time to play another sport!
